Another day, another New York Jets rumor that needs to be shut down.
This time, it’s about Washington Commanders quarterback Sam Howell. On Monday, Jets fans on Twitter started rallying around the idea of trading for Howell to back up Aaron Rodgers, with the idea of developing the 23-year-old to take over for Rodgers in the future.
Similar to the David Bakhtiari hoopla from a few days ago, this rumor did not stem from any sort of concrete report. Once again, fans and aggregators have taken a small line from a beat reporter’s article and blown it up to be more than it actually is.
